Olympics

The Olympics are 23 days away. Here are some Olympic-related photos I've taken around Beijing.

Not directly related to the Olympics but slated to be finished then, the China Central Television Headquarters as seen when I get off the subway going to my tutoring job. It's much huger than that (you can see the cranes on top just barely), but it's far away.



The Beijing National Aquatics Center, next to the Bird's Nest changes colors every few seconds.





















The Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed the Bird's Nest.
















The wall across from the bus stop near my apartment has a banner with the Fuwa playing various Olympic sports. One of them seems a little odd though.












Every day I get off the bus and walk 15 minutes to work, passing this huge Olympic countdown clock. It is one of many all over China. No one knows what it will do when it hits 0. Maybe stop, maybe explode.
